UNH vending machines to be stocked with condoms
October 8, 2005
DURHAM, N.H. --Dormitory vending machines at University of New Hampshire once dispensed condoms, and a university administrator says he'll ask the vending company to put them back.
Until two or three years ago, the prophylactics were available alongside snacks in the machines.
"The vending machine company simply stopped stocking the machines with them," said Anthony Zizos, assistant vice president for business affairs. "The fact that they're no longer being sold in the vending machines went unnoticed."
That is until the student government this week asked that condoms be sold in the vending machines in residence halls and on-campus apartments.
Free condoms already are available at the campus infirmary during office hours. Many resident assistants and managers also hand out condoms, but some students complain they aren't always available when needed.
UNH's student senate passed a resolution this week encouraging administrators to install the machines. They say quick, easy, round-the-clock access to condoms will make students even safer.
